READ MORE: Union: Bloomberg FDNY Staffing Cuts 'Directly Attributable' For Brooklyn Death, InjuresCBS New York: "As the investigation into what caused the deadly five-alarm apartment building fire in Brooklyn continues, fire department union leaders blamed recent staff reductions for the amount of time it took to fight Saturday night’s blaze.
Uniformed Firefighters Association President Steve Cassidy told 1010 WINS on Sunday that the hundreds left homeless after the Flatbush fire along with injured firefighters and the death of 64-year-old Mary Feagin was “directly attributable to staffing cuts at the FDNY by [Mayor] Mike Bloomberg.”
About 200 firefighters were called to the gusty scene and it took them seven hours to extinguish the fire."
